Pharmacy Students

Medicine was the first rotation I had which also had pharmacy students on our team. It was really fun. Pharmacists play a huge role in patient care, especially in transitions of care between outpatient and inpatient settings with medication reconciliation and patient education. They do so much work in tracking down pharmacies, following inpatient antibiotics, and thinking about drug interactions. They also do a lot of things I never think about like figuring out insurance and what drugs the patient can leave with. I learned a whole lot about meds from our pharmacist. It was also fun to have another student around.
